In this family saga, Mrs. Parkington recounts the story of her life, beginning as a hotel maid in frontier Nevada where she is swept off her feet by mine owner and financier Augustus Parkington. He moves them to New York, tries to remake her into a society woman, and establishes their home among the wealthiest of New York's high society. Family and social life is not always peaceful, however, and she guides us, in flashbacks, through the rises and falls of the Parkington family fortunes.本来按照陈天豪的想法(fǎ )，没打(🖕)(dǎ )算让那些儿童(😎)参加建(jiàn )筑工作(zuò )的，毕竟使用(👷)儿童做苦力活动，有点(diǎn )虐待儿童的感觉。
